FORT SMITH, ARK, July 2S.-In the
Federal court this morning Judge Parker
overruled the motion for new trial in
the cases of Lieutenant Tom Knight of
the Indian police, James Brooks and
Henry Puts, Texas Rangers, who were
convicted of manslaughter for the killing
of Robert ST. John in the Chickasaw ma
ton in May, '66. The defendants were
committed 10 Jail to await sentence. In
his remarks overriding the motion, Judge
Parker expressed himself as very sorry
that he had to commit these men, as ne
believed they were three honest and up
right citizens, but in his official capacity
and under the circumstances surrounding
the case he could not do otherwise than
follow the direction of the law for him TO
enforce. The facts in this case are briefly
as follows: 1t seems that Koight,
first Lieutenant of Indian p5lice, was
on special duty in the Cnickasag country
with Indian Agent Owens and had orders
from the agent to dissrm all man carry
ing deadly weapons contrary TO the law.
Sometime during the month Of May, 1886,

the new Admiralty and War Offices is
valued at eS20,000, or rather over G160,
COO per acre; that now vacant in
Chal les street, opposite the India Of
lice. is less than an acre, and would
cost at least e125.000; probably an
other acre miaht he secured by private
contract so that the value of limited
site in this position would not be less
than e250000
1t has been suggested that single
acre not TAR from Charing Cross ght
be obtained for f22i,000. Two and Il

A Missouri Blizzard.

Heavy snow is reported in the vicinity
of Kansas City. The mercury is hover
ing about the zero point and the snow
on level averages six inches in depth.
All the railroads are seriously impeded.
The worst sufferers are the South
ern Kansas and Kansas City, Fit.
Scott & Gulf lines. Four people
are reported dead in Clark county
from the cold. while near Dighton
Kas., a woman and her two children
are known to have persisted. There is
great suffering in that part of the state
owing to the scarcity Of coal. The sup
ply was exhausted during a previous
cold snap in the first part of the month,
and the situation is now deplorable. The
suffering is augmented by the fact that
food is almost as scarce as fuel. Many
of the inhabitants are settlers, who
located claims last summer and
who are dependent on what the
railroads bring in. The railroads
are trying to do all in their power to re-
lieve the distress, but they are handi-
capped by scarcity of cars. They have
not enough to supply the urgent demand
for food and fuel and widespread dis
tress is inevitable unless the weather
speedily moderates. The Santa Fe road
has already announced that it will ship
free all supplies which may be collected
for Clark County.

Maurice Barrymore Teaches an Insult
ing Broker Lesson
New York, Dec. 23.-There was s.
lively scene in an uptown restaurant
last evening, i'll which Maurice Barry
more, the actor, figured prominently.
He sat at one of the tables with lady
and her husband. The lady suddenly
exclaimed II can stand this no more;
that cad has insuted me-" Then she
walked to table where broker named
WISE sat, looked him in the face and
swapping. "You puppy" at him, left the
place. Her husb band, after a parting
word with Barrymore, followed. For a
moment there was complete silence in
the crowded cafe. Vyse sat completely
dumbfounded. Barrymore rose, went
to the brokers' table and leaning over
whispered into his ears. "What % came
from Vyse in Mortified tones. "Then
you lie"-and he aimed a powerful blow
lodged his adversary's outstretched
dealt him sounding slug under the
jaw. The force of the blow was tremen-
dous. Vyse was knocked clear across
the table and striking against the wall,
lay for an instant as if stunned. In his
fall he took with him the table. The
whole place was in a tumultuous up
roar. Jacoun, the proprietor, rushed in
and took Vyse by the collar and
after hard struggle dragged him
to the door and pushed him
headlong to the sidewalk. Vyse.
got on his feet and shouted: ''Where,
is he ?" Barrymore was there" and
knocked the broker into the gutter, fol-
lowing up the attack with blow after
blow in the face. Vyse then grasped
the actor, who apparently then struck
to kill.
Barrymore jumped into car and the
broker was assisted to his feet by friends.
His face looked as though it had been
in a straw-cutter. Barrymore was warm
" applauded.

SLAIN BY BURGLARS.
A Wealthy New York Man and His Wife
Killed in Their Home.

A Wealthy New York Man and His Wife
Killed in Their Home.
New YORK, Dec. 23.-James Miller, a
real estate dealer about 20 years of age,
was found lying dead this morning on
tie floor of his home in West Sixteenth
Street. Beside him lay the body of his
wife with several gashes in her head.
It is supposed the couple were at
tackled by robbers. A letter-carrier
discovered that something was wrong
at the house. He called a policeman
who broke the door open. The furni-
ture. kitchen utensils and crockery were
broken and the fragments strewn over
the floor. The apartments are on the
ground floor and window opening on
the yard was open. Mr.. Miller was said
to be wealthy. His wife, the neighbors
say, has been insane for the past year.
She was taken to the hospital.
Miller and his wife were heard laugh
ing in their rooms, by the family living
on the floor above them, last Wednes-
day afternoon. From that time until
this morning nothing had been heard of
them. Miller was fully dressed and
across his legs lay an overturned easy
chair. The police believe that the case
was not one of murder or robbery, but
that the old man died of heart disease
in his chair and fell from it, knocking
the chair and the stove down in his fall.
There were no injuries on his body ex-
cept confusion in the back of
the head that it is not thought sufficient
to cause death. 1t is supposed that Mrs.
Miller, who was but one year younger
than her husband, was too weak minded
to notify the neighbors of her husband s
death, and that her weak and exhausted
condition is due to starvation.

THE CAVE OF PTASA.
Scientists Interested in Mammoth
Cavern, Discovered at Alton, Ill

Scientists Interested in a Mammoth
Cavern, Discovered at Alton, Ill
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. ga party of
biologists and others interested in arch
geological researches will leave the city,
probably to-day, to institute proper and
scientific inquiry into the alleged dis
covery OF the mammoth cave in the vi
cinity of Alton by Prof. McAdams and
some of his students. The cavern is said
to consist of several chambers. From
the description of the osseous re-
mains and relics already found
by the explorers the belief
prevails among local antiquarians
that the famous legendary cave of Piasa
has at length been accidentally revealed
and the report has accordingly awakened
unusual interest in historical and arch
geological circles. A photograph OF the
entire interior will be Immediately
taken, showing the human and other
skeletons scattered over the stone floor
of the chambers already explored.
All the openings have evidently not yet
been exploited but Prof. McAdams' re-
searches have created the utmost in
terest and curiosity throughout the
state,
